Page "Yellow-breasted Chat" Paragraph 4

Yellow-breasted Chats are ominvorous birds, and forage in dense vegetation.

Mostly, this species feeds on insects and berries, including blackberries and wild grapes.

Insects of up to moderate sizes, including grasshoppers, bugs, beetles, weevils, bees, wasps, tent caterpillars, ants, moths and mayflies, are typically predated and will be gleaned from dense vegetation.

Other invertebrates, including spiders, are occasionally eaten as well.

Uniquely for a passerine of its size, the chat occasionally grips food with it feet before it eats.
